GioLandPublic/HRL_TreeCoverDensity_2015 (MapServer)

Service Description: The Copernicus HRL Forest defines Tree Cover Density as the „vertical projection of tree crowns to a horizontal earth’s surface“ and provides information on the proportional crown coverage per pixel. This information is derived from multispectral High Resolution (HR) satellite data using Very High Resolution (VHR) satellite data and/or aerial ortho-imagery as reference data. Tree Cover Density is assessed on VHR sources by visual interpretation following a point grid approach and subsequently transferred to the HR data by a linear function.
